I’ve always respected @Trevornoah so much but this closing speech from the White House correspondents’ dinner is particularly spectacular.
It would be weird to plug my own thing from a viral tweet about someone else so let me just say that Trevor's book "Born a Crime" is phenomenally funny, insightful and just a great story well told. Please consider grabbing at your local bookstore: bookshop.org/books/born-a-c…
@birbigs @Trevornoah 👍I agree 💯. I thought that as soon as I heard @Trevornoah say it. And not just about #journalists, but about #Americans🇺🇸 in general. I think many in this country take the #rights that we have for granted.
@birbigs @Trevornoah South Africa's best exports of our time,

@birbigs @Trevornoah This is democracy. We still are getting hit with disinformation but we can still discern the truth because the truth is still getting through. We still have people in the news and right here on twitter still fighting the good fight. One of the corner stones of democracy is truth
@birbigs @Trevornoah 'Free to speak the truth, even if it makes people in power uncomfortable?' *Julian Assange has entered the chat* *Edward Snowden has entered the chat* *Reality Winner has entered the chat*
@birbigs @Trevornoah Oh it’s been happening for so long alright
@birbigs @Trevornoah Look at it in this context, he was telling the journalists to report without fear or favour, saying they shouldn't spread propaganda instead they should report factually. If you didn't get it forget about it..
@birbigs @Trevornoah It’s such a blessing that instead of reporting the news they all lie now
